how to change the IP address of Zync platform (EVAL-TPG-ZYNQ3).

Please use the serial port to access the Linux command and check the existing IP using "ifconfig" command.

open this file "/etc/network/interfaces" and edit with the required IP address and netmask

Hi, 

I connected to serial port of Zync card. At power up I see Header:

"Xilinx Zync-7000 All Programmable SoC ZC706 Evaluation Kit"

and menu below: for "PS" and "PL"

I have SD card with TES for ADRV9009.(the card inserted to SD card slot)

Could you advise please how to switch to Linux operation  system promt.

Thanks

Hi,

I have the TES (Transmitter Evaluation Software) image.

Could you advise how to change the IP address in this image.

May be I need to change some jumpers in board, In order to insert the boot parameters or environments of this SW?

Thanks

No need of changing any parameters or environment in the SW .

Once the board is booted ,connect through Serial port and once you get the console .

Go to vi/etc/network/interfaces and  Comment out the line 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' with a '#'.

Add the following lines:

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.1.10

netmask 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.1.1

Save changes.

Reboot platform and check that the correct IPv4 address has been assigned properly .

Refer to Can't Ping FPGA section for details .

 TES Connection Issues 

Hi,

I have evb "EVAL-TPG-ZYNQ3 " could you send me please the user guide for this card.

I want to know which serial port to use

I connected to mini USB port that located in the same side as ETH port to manage of card.

After power up I see:

"Xilinx Zync-7000 All Programmable SoC ZC706 Evaluation Kit"

and in menu below: for "PS" and "PL"

May be problem with:

1. SD card (TES SW)

2. jumpers in pcb of EVAL - TPG-ZYNQ3?

3. connected to wrong serial port?

Could you send me please the user guide for EVAL - TPG-ZYNQ3 with reference number of serial port? Or picture with correct serial port

Thanks

Haim

The issue might be due to SD card , can you try reflashing the Image . Download the SD Card image from the below link .

https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/landing-pages/001/transceiver-evaluation-software.html

 Follow the programming instructions from the below link .

https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-software/zynq_images/windows_hosts

Once your SD card is ready ,then connect to the Serial port (pointed in the screenshot below ) to J21 in the ZYNQ3 board or else you can try connecting to ethernet port , Login to mobaxterm with the default  IP first and then change the IP address by going to  vi/etc/network/interfaces file .

Hi,

I think that I succeeded to load the "TES" image EVB from SD card. The problem was in setting of Switches SW11(3,4 - should be 1) and 1,2,5 =0.

I want to verify that TES image loaded and run "OK". Please advise how to verify. In attached files I send you the "u-boot" boot parameters and "ubuntu" recording.

I changed the IP of  EVB by command "ifconfig". I tested the settings by sending the "ping" command from PC. It works "OK"

I started application "GUI TES" in PC, set the IP of EVB board and then tried to connect, but connection "Failed"

I verify that "Firewall switched OFF".

May be need to set the new IP address for HOST in EVB? (The default HOST IP is 192.168.1.2)0513.analog_evb_power_up_print.txt6607.analog_evb_uboot_parameters.txt

If yes, please advise how perform this

You can be able to see the IP Address set through ifconfig . If you are changing the IP Address go to  vi/etc/network/interfaces file, change the IP , restart the board once , Check the ping and then try connecting to the TES GUI.

Still if you see any issue ,check with the default Host IP  first . Try connecting directly through LAN to your PC/Laptop,  Check the ping and then try connecting to the TES GUI. Please check the procedure of how to set the static IP address mentioned in the document .

Can you share us the snippet of the connection failed error which you are getting while connecting to the TES GUI ?

Hi,

I want to verify that TES application loaded OK

After loading of Image, I see in Seral port  "root@linaro-ubuntu-desktop:~#". According with procedure that you send me in attached link after load of image I see the prompt: "root@analog:~#". Please advise is it "OK"

I set the command "ps" in Putty terminal, in order to verify if any process is "run" - no process running.

I have access by SSH and see the folders in Linux.

May be need to perform some command in order to run the system?

I hope you are waiting for 3 to 5 minutes once you turn on the board to make sure that the image loads properly and then try connecting with the TES GUI.

Can you uninstall and install the TES GUI again and try connecting. 

Can you try checking whether the two LED's (D501 and D502) on the Eval Board  are on?

Once you are connected , Update the platform files by navigating to Tools > Update >Platform Files. The TES automatically updates files on the Zynq SD card and reboots the ADRV board .

First try with the default IP first , and with port number 55555.  Can you share us the snippet of the connection failed error which you are getting while connecting to the TES GUI ?

Hi Vanitha,

I succeed to connect to EVB from stand alone PC that not connected to Network.

I used the IP address according with user guide. TES EVB IP: 192.168.1.10, TES SW in PC IP is: 192.168.1.2

In the future, could you verify please how to connect from EVB TES SW (ZYNQ707 board) to PC SW TES with other address than appears in user guides. I suggest to test this procedure in your setup, before send to me.

Thanks

Hi Vanitha,

I started to test the RX 1 path of EV board of ADRV9009.

I set the signal generator to Freq. =1.801GHz with Pout=-9dBm (-9dBm should be Full Scale Power input according with Data sheet) and connect the output of Signal Generator to RX1 of ADRV9009.(Ref. Clock and Tallise loaded successfully- according with LED's in ZYNQ and ADRV9009)

In Tallise: RX path: the RX 1 LO Frequency=1.8GHz,

RX 1 Gain Table Index =255 (0 attenuation, or maximal Gain).

I received the in GUI the "Fund Freq"=1MHz -  tone with Power =-21dBFS. The expected Power is ~-1 or 2dB from Full Scale

Could you explain please?

Thanks

It seems that you are not getting expected power level at the output of the ADRV9009 Receiver .

Are you checking with CW tone or modulated signal ? 

Can you try checking with 1810MHz signal i.e.  10MHz away from LO .

Can you test at -15dBm, -20dBm power level  and read the RX DEC power at each case. 

Also can you try reading back the RX1 gain index set ?

Hi Vanitha,

I detected the "root cause" of the problem with RX Power Input. The problem was in RF cable. I replaced the RF cable. 

After replaced the RF cable I received the expected Power Input levels.

For Pin=-9dBm and RX 1 Gain Index=255, I received the ~0dBFS, and in time scale: I , Q Levels=~+/-32000. For CW=1MHz and 10MHz.

Thanks
